There is non-emergency access to the hospital via Second Avenue and Emergency vehicles will have access to the hospital at all times.
The road closures have been co-ordinated to support the staggered start times which is key for the COVID-Secure arrangements in place to allow the event to take place safely and securely.
The council says the race organisers Tape2Tape have put a lot of time and consideration into analysing all aspects of the race to make it as COVID-Safe as possible, and have strictly followed the official UK Athletics guidance and advice from the council's Event Safety Advisory Group and Public Health.
